If you can't reliably read and write to your disk, your installation
will definitely not be stable.
Try to replace the cable first - I've heard it happen multiple times
that a 40-pin cable is simply not compatible and that a new 80pin cable
will work.
If this doesn't work, replace the drive. I have yet to see a drive that
starts accumulating new errors (after the manufacturers burn-in) that
lasts for any length of time. You may be able to map out the bad blocks
now, but your drive is dying and you'll be in for grief later.
